Connect to a SQL database using console application

[Claudia Fong]

Hello

I'm trying to connect to a sql database using C# console application but
I'm having trouble to connect.. can someone help me?

// Create an empty SqlConnection object.
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection() )
{

// Configure the SqlConnection object's connection string.
con.ConnectionS tring =
"Data Source = "+ // WHAT SHOULD I PUT HERE??
"Database = LibDB;" + // the my DB
"Integrated Security=SSPI"; // integrated Windows security

// Open the Database connection.
con.Open();
}
Cheers!

Try using the simplified technique:

string connectionStrin g
="server=machin eName;database= databaseName;ui d=dbusername;pw d=dbpassword";

SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(c onnectionString );

Go to connectionstrin gs.com if you need more help.
